Praise for ELEPHANTMEN 2260:

"not just the best science-fiction on the market today, but simply one of the absolute best comics. An epic, affecting, unforgettable exploration of the human condition."

— John Layman, Writer of the New York Times Bestselling CHEW

“A new beginning is definitely how I would bill this book. It doesn't erase anything that's come before but just puts one of the main characters in a different corner of the universe. If you love science-fiction mixed with some hard boiled characters and some strong character work then you should pick this up.”

—Brandon Borzelli, ComicList

“Get it for the main story, get it for the back up, get Elephantmen, one of the best comics on the rack that far too few people are reading.”

—Bob Bretall, ComicSpectrum

“Starkings brilliant storytelling wouldn't be anything without Axel Medellin's art adding to it. The emotion of this book is told through Medellin's facial expressions and close ups. His ability to draw advanced technology and mutilated and mangled fetus' help ground the story in a futuristic setting.”

—Lenny Wojt, Nerds on the Rocks
